July 15, 2016 --
When non-motor vehicle riders get stuck in traffic disputes with car drivers, how to prove their innocence? Now Airwheel smart helmet C5, which both helps to protect safety and provides filming function will perfectly resolve the disputes.
A video of road disputes between a car driver and an electromobile rider has received lots of hits and debates on the Internet. The issues about road rights have once again been readdressed. How can electromobile riders or e-bike riders avoid such an embarrassing situation? Now, Airwheel Technology has invented a smart helmet C5 to resolve the trouble.
The relationship between automobiles and non-motor vehicles is always that autos being much overpowering on the road. Autos gain too many advantages, compared to non-motor vehicles. But as more people start to turn an eye on environment protections, the green vehicles are getting popular on the roads, like intelligent self-balancing scooters and electric bikes. As these intelligent vehicles are often the weaker sides on the complex road conditions, Airwheel Technology, a company dedicated to produce intelligent vehicles, introduced an intelligent helmet C5 to help non-motor vehicles.

The smart helmet is inlaid with a high-quality lens, which presents high resolution shooting performance. What riders see will be vividly recorded by the camera, a 150� wide view-shed. The max internal storage is 128 G, which can store enough photos and videos. The helmet can be adjusted to adapt to different head girths. A ventilating system is added to the gadget to deliver comfortable wearing experience. Let each journey be accompanied by both passion and safety guarantee.
A helmet which both integrating safety protection and photography functions will be a good company on the road. When caught in traffic disputes, the video recorded by the intelligent helmet will explain everything. Even if there are no disputes, the gadget can record the beautiful scenery, or the pleasant riding experience with family members. It is far more convenient to wear a helmet inserted with cameras than holding a cameras.
In time of emergency, even the road surveillance can fail to work. For cycling enthusiasts, it is far better to rely on their own devices than on the public equipment. Therefore, it is quite imperative to have an Airwheel helmet C5 in the journey.

Netherlands cyclist Tom Dumoulin took a high-tech route when preparing for this year’s Tour de France bicycle race. Besides the strenuous physical training, Dumoulin also collaborated with the Netherlands’ best and brightest scientists to shave seconds off his time. His secret weapon? A high-tech, aerodynamic skinsuit optimized using 3D printing and wind tunnel technology.

When looking at ways to improve his times, Dumoulin and the experts on his Team Giant-Alpecin decided to focus on improving the bodysuit he wears during time trials.
“Research has shown that the composition and structure of the fabric in a cycling suit have a significant influence on resistance and drag, important for us to start exploring how to further improve our time trial suit,” said Team Giant-Alpecin’s Teun van Erp. To design the cutting-edge skinsuit, the team worked with clothing partner Etxeondo and employed the resources of a team of scientists at Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

The researchers at TU Delft began the bodysuit development by scanning Dumoulin’s body while he was riding his bike. The team employed the services of photography experts th3rd, who simultaneously captured images of Dumoulin’s body using more than 150 DSLR cameras positioned at many different angles. It took 30 minutes of Dumoulin’s time to collect the data necessary for the next step in the process — a 3D-printed mannequin of Dumoulin on his bike. The team used a standard 3D printer and the fused deposition modeling method to print a model version of Dumoulin. The team built the model in eight different parts and attached them together using pin-and-hole joints. This construction allowed the researchers to manipulate the 3D mannequin and change the bodysuit as needed. Altogether, it took approximately 50 hours to print the replica.

Once the mannequin was ready. The TU Delft team outfitted the mannequin with different bodysuits and placed the 3D-printed model into the wind tunnel. Each bodysuit was examined for its ability to reduce drag while riding. The team found that the best suit contains both rough and smooth areas, which combined lowered the drag by a half percent. For a cyclist, this reduction could translate into a few extra seconds, which could mean the different between a win and second-place finish. This project is one of many between Team Giant-Alpecin and TU Delft, which announced a multiyear collaboration earlier this year. They are working on a sensor-filled bicycle, aerodynamics, data analysis, and more.

So how did Dumoulin do on the Stage 13 time trial while wearing his cutting-edge skinsuit? He won that day’s stage, beating out Tour de France leader Chris Froome by 1 minute and 3 seconds.
 
"lowered the drag by a half percent" ACK! And all I want is a good cup holder that doesn't spill a drink. :?

http://technical.ly/brooklyn/2016/08/04/isis-shiffer-ecohelmet-paper-bike-helmet/ :? What if it rains?
Bike helmets made out of paper — yes, paper — very well could save lives, make Citi Bike safer and get Isis Shiffer very rich.

The idea is simple enough, if you have some basic engineering knowledge: the hexagonal honeycomb shape happens to be very well suited to absorb impact through the elastic buckling of the cell walls. The military uses the impact-absorbing honeycomb shape when dropping supplies out of helicopters. The arc of a bike helmet also allows force to be applied to it radially, or perpendicular with your head, which makes it stronger.
It’s a compelling idea for someone who loves using bike shares, but doesn’t carry a helmet around, and that person is Shiffer. She’s invented a foldable bike helmet made out of paper and glue that uses the honeycomb pattern and, she says, protects your dome piece from impact shockingly well. It’s called the EcoHelmet, and she hopes that it will become available in vending machines to riders at bike-share stations for just a few bucks.
“This was something I thought of about a year and a half ago when I was on study abroad and I wanted to do a bike share but I was terrified and never got on a bike,” Shiffer said in an interview. “The prototypes I’ve been working on really do work. I took them to a lab and they actually work better than the bottom-of-the-line polystyrene helmet.”
Shiffer, 28, graduated this spring from Pratt with a degree in industrial design. Before that she was a designer and fabricator of custom bicycles at a tiny artisan bike shop in Philadelphia called Bilenky Cycle Works. Now in Brooklyn, she’s doing freelance industrial design work for clients and working on the EcoHelmet.
Because it’s foldable, riders could carry the EcoHelmet around with them without the hassle of a solid plastic bike helmet. At around $5, the helmets are about one sixth the price of a standard bike helmet and although the EcoHelmet would only be usable for one crash, hopefully that’s still a long shelf life. And after it’s reached its useful life, you can throw it out without guilt.

“One of the things I really don’t like about regular helmets is that if they break and go into a landfill, they never biodegrade. They’re one of those 10,000-year materials,” Shiffer said.
There’s another customer that would like this product: bike shares themselves. Citi Bike has to pay an unknown but large sum of money to cover insurance for lawsuits over bike injuries. Although it’s officially ride at your own risk, the law is complicated, and lawsuits are expensive.
Just last week courts allowed a $60 million lawsuit against Citi Bike to proceed. Ronald Corwin, 75, claims he lost his sense of smell and taste after a bike accident landed him on his head while not wearing a helmet. According to the New York Post, a Manhattan appellate-court judge agreed with his argument that Citi Bike should have forced Corwin to wear a helmet last week, saying the city, “can’t have it both ways. They can’t say, ‘[He] didn’t have a helmet,’ thus blaming him for his injuries, but at the same time say, ‘We don’t provide helmets because we know our city bike-share program is not going to work if we have a helmet law.'”
Shiffer said that fabrication of the EcoHelmet will cost about $5 in the early stages, but once it’s produced at scale, it’s really just paper, glue and water-resistant material. Because they’re foldable, about 12-15 EcoHelmets could be shipped for the same price as one bicycle helmet. She says she’s received interest from several bike share programs already.

The next steps are to get the helmet certified by the standards of the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the federal agency that makes sure the stuff we buy doesn’t kill us. She needs to have about 15 identical products ready for that, which she needs to make by hand. After that, if the helmet passes, it’s off to the races. Shiffer is considering a couple financing options.
“I’ve been trying to avoid Kickstarter cause it makes me jumpy [to ask people for money] but I’m probably going to do a Kickstarter cause I have no money,” she said.
 
i like where this is going......we need some sort of body armor. when we are biking. are the hottie suits knife proof?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-MX-Full-Body-Armor-Jacket-Spine-Chest-Shoulder-Protection-Riding-Gear-/360527881792?var=&hash=item53f122e640:m:mT_UzEgGs5RA67XGJ07DbKQ&vxp=mtr

i don't know if these suits are knife proof but that would be nice. relatively cheap 30 bucks top 30 bucks knee and shin...maybe boxer cup protector/adult diaper. if you did open carry and had a black gun this would match your outfit. no if only walmart would let me in with my new look......
